Well, morning (ALL DAY) sickness has officially hit.. and the food aversions continue (and still pertain to ALL food.) (Which really helps with the nausea bit.) Other than that, everything is pretty much the same: Still getting up to potty a million times a day/night, the whole 'boob thing' is still an 'issue', I'm still crying at the TINIEST things (ok, I kind of already did that, but now it's worse.) Oh! A couple newbies: Leg cramps and increased saliva.... Fun.
